Location Testing Darius Burst Another Chronicle
I have a confession to make. For the past week or so I’ve had Taito’s Darius Burst Another Chronicle sitting at my arcade on location test and I didn’t tell everyone about it. That was to give it the obligatory period to see how it did by itself without hype but now comes the »
Leftover arcades wasting away at the Nara Dreamland
Newsfeed 1115 via and GameSetWatch When an amusement park or other large FEC goes out of business,they often leave some stuff behind. Perhaps there wasn’t enough interest from buyers at the time or the people in charge of selling off old items just didn’t care to deal with the hassle. I’ve come across a »
Big Buck Hunter 2011 World Championship Starts Tomorrow
(Thanks to Kelly for the info) It’s that time again, time for the best Big Buck Hunters from around the world come together and duke it out – in a virtual sense – for top dog status and a bundle of cash. At stake is a top prize of $15,000, up $5000 from the »
Blazing Angels gets a new cabinet release
(Tip via The Stinger Report) In 2008 GlobalVR brought the popular console title Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII out to arcades in a deluxe sit-down cabinet. There haven’t been many entries in recent years for aerial combat games (Sega’s Afterburner Climax would be one although that is no longer produced) so that certainly helped »
Celebrate Donkey Kong’s Birthday this Weekend @ Star Worlds Arcade Classic Game Celebration
Many great games came out 30 years ago in 1981 and plenty of those games are iconic enough to hold players attention today. Among the more famous ’81 titles is Donkey Kong which has become more popular after the documentary The King of Kong made some waves. To celebrate 30 years of this and »
Race Simulator Center opening in Montreal Canada in November
One part of the arcade experience that we occasionally touch on is the area of simulators. Simulating something from real life as closely as possible is something that can often be done pretty well in the out-of-home arena, especially where professional quality simulators can be very pricey. If you live in or near Montreal, »
Taito’s iCade clone: iNVADERCADE
Newsfeed 1113 via One thing I would use a time machine for right now, if they existed, would be to go a short ways down the road to get all of these iCade clones out of the way in one post as I’m sure every company with any arcade history to speak of is »
Transformers Pinball playfield and cabinet art
When it comes to Transformers pinball I have a feeling of “Well that was fast” with it. I know it’s about time for a game considering Stern has been doing about 3-4 games a year but it seems like TRON just barely made it’s way out. It wasn’t long ago we caught that nice »
Getting to know Dirty Drivin’ and Specular Interactive
Earlier this year we learned about a new arcade title in development by Specular Interactive called Dirty Drivin’. In 2009 they created a spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder called H2Overdrive. Some of the team members responsible for that title were also directly responsible for Hydro Thunder such as Steve Ranck (the creator) and Brian »
Aiming for the High Score…and Charity
(Thanks to Glenn Thomas for the info) Taking on a gaming marathon on a classic arcade title is no simple task in most cases and when it’s all said and done, the result is some personal glory for the person who achieved the score. But it doesn’t always have to be that way, as »
